Chapter 23: Do you know how difficult it is to get water on the island?
Zhou Cheng's face turned red instantly. He bit his lower lip, his expression full of regret, but he was still young and not a bad person by nature. He nodded and admitted his mistake.
"It's my fault! I shouldn't have wasted food!"
Seeing that he admitted it, Song Shi smiled.
"As for the second whip, why did I stop it? It's because you said I was a vicious person and would hit you and your brother! Then I want to ask you, which eye of yours saw me hitting Zhou Wei and Xin Xin?"
Zhou Cheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he seemed to feel that she didn't really do anything.
But he still grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Of course you won't do that now, but I believe that one day your fox tail will be exposed!"
Zhou Tingyue yelled angrily: "Bullshit!"
Song Shiwei smiled brightly: "Okay, I welcome your supervision. When I beat you and your brothers and sisters, it won't be too late for you to say that I am a vicious person! Because time will prove everything! Right?"
Zhou Cheng pursed his lips and lowered his head.
What she said seems to make sense...
The farce is over, the beating has been done, and the talking has been done.
If the noise continues, the food she worked so hard to prepare will get cold.
Hurry up and invite everyone to eat.
Zhou Tingyue glared at Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin fiercely.
Zhou Cheng could only sit down obediently.
Zhou Wei and Xinxin were immediately happy when they saw it. They each took a pair of chopsticks and started to eat.
Smelling the fragrance in the air, their stomachs were already filled with hunger!
Zhou Lin was reluctant at first, just like Zhou Cheng, but after taking a bite of the pancake and tasting the dish, he instantly forgot everything.
Song Shiwei saw that Zhou Cheng was just taking small bites of the bread and drinking the rice soup. He didn't eat a single bite of the food, so he didn't pay any attention to him and just let him do what he wanted.
After all, who would feel comfortable after being hit by a belt?
This child has his own ideas in his mind. It will take time to make him truly change.
Now he dislikes her, and no matter what she does, he will try to go against her.
Anyway, there is still a lot of time and she has plenty of time!
After dinner, Zhou Cheng obediently took his younger brothers and sisters to wash the dishes.
Zhou Tingyue looked at his back and couldn't help but frowning.
He didn't expect that these children would have such a big reaction when he got married.
As a result, he felt a little guilty. One reason was that he thought too simply and did not communicate well with these children.
Another reason was that he felt guilty towards Song Shiwei. His condition was not good to begin with, and these children did not accept her.
From Zhou Cheng's attitude towards her, it is not difficult to see how much he resists her in his heart!
He was a rough man and had been a soldier all his life. Although it was not his first time to get married, he had never encountered a situation like this before.
When he led these little guys, he also crossed the river step by step, feeling his way across the stones.
He didn't know whether it was right or not, but he managed to raise all these children safely.
He also tried his best to teach them what is right and what is wrong.
If it’s right, he will encourage it, and if it’s wrong, he will punish it!
For example, before dinner, he was really furious when he saw Zhou Cheng not only wasting food but also scolding Song Shiwei!
I even wondered if I had really taught them bad things.
How did it become like this?
Song Shiwei let him struggle alone, she was now very fond of Xinxin.
This little girl is very cute.
It might be because Zhou Tingyue was a rough man, and she was just a little girl after all, so he had never given her a proper bath.
There was a circle of dust on the neck.
Song Shiwei boiled some water, closed the door, and helped her wash carefully.
She also used the White Cat brand soap she brought back from Beijing.
Zhou Xinxin was so happy. It was the first time she had taken such a fragrant bath!
After washing, you will feel fragrant and smooth!
Song Shiwei was so happy when he saw the little girl changing into clean clothes.
Zhou Xinxin ran out happily.
"Dad, brother, can you smell me? Do I smell good? Mom washed me with scented soap! I smell so good!"
When Zhou Wei heard this, he immediately ran over curiously and sniffed her.
"It really smells good! I want to take a bath that smells this good, too!"
Zhou Lin, who was standing by, immediately kicked him.
"Why are you washing? You're a boy, not a little girl! Why do you have to smell so good?"
Zhou Lin, who was kicked by him, rubbed his butt in grievance.
"What's wrong with boys? Boys can be clean and smell good too!"
Hearing his words, Song Shi smiled.
"Zhou Lin is right! Boys and girls alike must be clean. Otherwise, if you are dirty all day long, not only will you be disliked by other kids, you will also feel uncomfortable! Your whole body will be covered with dirty bacteria!"
When Zhou Wei heard this, he nodded quickly! !
"That's right! That's right!"
But all three of them are boys! The important task of bathing naturally fell to Zhou Tingyue.
Zhou Tingyue naturally listens to his wife!
"Come on, go take a bath! I'll give you a good scrub! Look how dirty you are!"
After he gave the order, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin went to take a shower reluctantly no matter how reluctant they were.
After taking a shower, the children came out all clean and fragrant.
Zhou Wei was so happy.
He kept lowering his head and sniffing his own body: "What a nice smell!"
"It smells so good! I'm going to take a shower every day from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the back of his head by his second brother.
"Wash, wash, wash, what are you washing? Do you know how difficult it is to get water on our island?"
There was only one well in the family compound on the island, and everyone had to fetch water from the well every day and then carry it home.
It is usually Zhou Tingyue who fetches water for their family.
To fill a tank of water, he needs to run four or five times.
After hearing what his second brother said, Zhou Lin stopped talking and lowered his head with a red face.
Song Shiwei hadn't thought of this. No wonder the children would rather get dirty than take a bath or wash their hands. It turned out that they did it to make their dad work less hard!
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt very sorry for Zhou Tingyue.
Just today, I wasted half a tank of water just by cooking and taking a shower!
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so difficult to get water here..."
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin reacted the most strongly when they heard her apology. They didn't expect that she would take the initiative to admit her "mistake"! It is indeed different from what they imagined!
Zhou Cheng thought she asked them to take a bath just because she thought they were too dirty, completely disregarding his father's hard work!
Unexpectedly, she had no idea that it was difficult to get water on the island!
Zhou Tingyue waved his hands quickly.
"It's not hard. It's just carrying a few more buckets of water. This is much easier than my usual training! It's not hard at all! Feel free to use it! Use as much as you want. I'll carry more when you're done!"
But Song Shiwei felt embarrassed after all.
So, before going to bed at night, she only dared to take a basin of water and try to wash herself simply. After all, she had been sitting on the train and the ship for a whole day, and the smell of cooking fumes made her body smell really bad.
